WOW. Didn't see that one coming, he was a class act.

That is a surprise ! Late in the year to resign. Anyone know what happen?

[Granny Bear]

Nothing happened. If you know Coach Creech, you also know that he is dedicated to his family and his God. He just felt like God was leading him in another direction and he followed.

He was a dedicated and wonderful example to every single player that he coached. I will miss him terribly, but respect his choice.

Great loss for the Black Bears, Harlan County, and football in general. A great role model and leader of young men. God, family, and country

Who's the front runners for this one?

[Granny Bear]

This was a pretty sudden decision. To my knowledge, there aren't any applicants. But, I'm not nearly as connected as I used to be to the football program.

[E's Army]

Good man. Solid coach. Hard time to win at coal counties. He will be missed.

[bac2369]

Ovie Canady come on down!!!

[Footballcrazyman]

Really like Eddie he is a good guy!!! HC needs to pay some money and go get a good coach that can win. The talent is there to have a successful program.

Harlan County needs to follow the Middlesboro plan to hire a coach. It's an interesting story how French came to Middlesboro.

Has Harlan County hired a coach yet?

No I know from someone being interviewed that some interviews are going on this week. But I have no idea a timetable beyond that.

[watcher]

I hear they are getting ready to hire.

Dudley’s been waiting for this, don’t be surprised if some Bears are Bobcats soon

Considering what Corbin pulled off this week I wouldn't be talking a lot.

Listen I didn’t mean it in a bad way, I wasn’t trying to throw shade at all. Considering what Harlan has accomplished the last couple years compared to what Dudley’s known for if I was a kid with talent and could make the move I’d leave for Bell in a heart beat. As far as what’s went down with a kid moving from Bell to Corbin I honestly got no idea what or how it happened, but some kids can’t play for Dudley that’s not a shot at him it’s just the reality of today’s society.

[DukeBoy]

What did Corbin pull off this week?

[TD Hounds]

A kid from Bell Co decided to move for whatever reason, no one from Corbin was involved, but apparently it doesn’t matter gonna get the blame anyway. Glass houses, rocks and such...

[fridaynightfights]

Any word from Harlan Co yet? New coach would probably like to be getting to work I’d imagine.

[Granny Bear]

There have been a handful of applicants and interviews. I "hear" two are being seriously considered but no decision so far.

Dudley is too mean, so kids will go to Corbin, because they have a friendly coach that will coddle them. lol

LMAO, Tom is a great person and very personable off the field but if they’re coming cause they think he’s friendly, once them feet hit the turf some feelings maybe hurt pretty quick. Besides i think Corbin’s a little out of the way for most parents and kids from Harlan and some parents don’t mind Dudley’s style just because of the life lessons his style of coaching teaches and those are the type kids you want anyway
